I lived in Brighton when they were close to going out of business, and I followed them for a bit while I was living there. It's worth looking at their history to see what fan power can do. Also see Hearts and Bournemouth for fairly recent examples of how supporters can make a difference. This defeatist attitude that we can't do anything, collectively, to hurt Ashley is utterly ridiculous. The first step is to act upon your own conscience, and then to persuade others to follow you. That's how movements grow. They are slowed down in their growth by those who wait on the sidelines, demanding guarantees of success before fighting.
Get off your knees, and fight for your club. The first thing to do is to withdraw support for the entity that is killing it. If you think TC's aims are "admirable" then why not share them. The time is now, and we need people to fucking wake up. Most of them don't even know they are asleep, so we have our work cut out, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't fight for it. Fuck Ashley, and fuck the defeatists.
